18 Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia

Calling Doctor Amelia Bedelia

呼叫阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚医生

It was a hot day in August. Mr. Rogers was even hotter. "Amelia Bedelia," yelled Mr. Rogers, "what are you doing?"

八月的一天天气酷热。 罗杰斯先生感觉更热。 “阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚，”罗杰斯先生大喊，“你在做什么？”

"What's wrong?" said Amelia Bedelia. "You said it was hot enough to..." "Stop!" said Mr. Rogers. "I said it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. Not on my car." "Well," said Amelia Bedelia, "you should be glad. I would never fry your eggs on a dirty old sidewalk." "Forget about eggs," said Mr. Rogers. "You will be late for your appointment with Dr. Horton. Jump in the car." "Yes, sir," said Amelia Bedelia.

“怎么啦？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你说天气热得能……”“住嘴！”罗杰斯先生说。 “我说天气热得能在人行道上煎鸡蛋。 不是在我的车上。” “哎呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说，“你该高兴才对呀。 我才不会在脏兮兮的旧人行道上煎你的鸡蛋呢。” “别提鸡蛋了，”罗杰斯先生说。 “你和霍顿医生的预约要迟到了。 快上车吧。” “好的，先生。”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。

She bounced up and down on her seat. "Sit still," said Mr. Rogers. "Good," said Amelia Bedelia. "It wasn't easy to jump in your car." Mr. Rogers shook his head. "What kind of doctor is Dr. Horton?" he asked. "The best kind," said Amelia Bedelia. "She is a very good doctor." "Of course," said Mr. Rogers. "I mean, who does Dr. Horton treat?" "Everyone," said Amelia Bedelia. "And she treats good boys and girls to ice cream."

她在座位上蹦来蹦去。 “坐好别动。”罗杰斯先生说。 “好呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说， “刚才跳进你的车可真不容易呢。” 罗杰斯先生摇了摇头。 “霍顿医生是哪科的医生呀？” 他问。 “最好的那科呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “她是个非常棒的医生。” “那当然，”罗杰斯先生说， “我的意思是，霍顿医生给谁看病呀？” “所有人呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说， “而且她还会请乖孩子吃冰淇淋呢。”

They arrived at Dr. Horton's office. Mr. Rogers took out a bottle. "What are those pills?" asked Amelia Bedelia. "They are for a headache," said Mr. Rogers. "Why do you want a headache?" asked Amelia Bedelia. "I have a headache now," said Mr. Rogers. "Then why do you want another one?" asked Amelia Bedelia. "I don't," said Mr. Rogers. "In fact, I am getting rid of my biggest headache. Good-bye!"

他们到了霍顿医生的诊所。 罗杰斯先生拿出一个小瓶子。 “那些药片是治什么的呀？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚问。 “是治头疼的。”罗杰斯先生说。 “你为什么想要头疼呀？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚问。 “我现在就头疼着呢。”罗杰斯先生说。 “那你为什么还想要另一个头疼呀？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚问。 “我不想，”罗杰斯先生说， “实际上，我正要甩掉我最大的一个头疼事儿呢。 再见！”

"Good-bye!" said Amelia Bedelia. "Thanks for the ride. And I hope you feel better." "Thank you," said Mr. Rogers. "Call me when you are done." Amelia Bedelia opened the door to Dr. Horton's office. It was a lot noisier than usual.

“再见！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “谢谢你载我过来。 希望你能舒服点。” “谢谢你。”罗杰斯先生说。 “你看完了给我打电话。” 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚推开了霍顿医生诊所的门。 里面比往常吵多了。
